clipper's remarks: The art of the people of the Omo Valley

"This unique art (shot by Hans Silvester) of the African Surma and Mursi tribes of the Omo Valley. These nomadic people have no architecture or crafts with which to express their innate artistic sense. Instead, they use their bodies as canvases and adorning themselves with materials obtained from their surroundings such as flowers, leaves, grasses, berries and branches which seems endlessly inventive, and above all, fun"

Oh my! Frosty the Golem

clipper's remarks: A wonderfully twisted tale behind the story of Frosty.

Clip Source: www.secweb.org

The Atrocity of Frosty

Frosty the snowman is iconic of man's chronic horror of the animated spiritual. While the typical Frostologist might sight this 1950s pop hit as an example of fun childish nonsense, a closer reading of the Frosty "fairytale" reveal that Frosty is spawn from a line of golems tracing back to the early myths of the Golems in Jewish culture, continuing in more scientific times in the flesh-golem of Frankenstein's "monster," committing murder again as the Stone Guest of Don Juan, getting preachy in the tale of Pinocchio, terrorizing us in zombie movies such as Night of the Living Dead, and persisting in Pixar hits such as Toy Story. When we read through the childhood lightheartedness we read that philosophical anxiety necessitated by the animated dead hides even in childhood stories, and the children, with their heightened sensitivity of innocence, cannot miss the implications inherent in the story of the bestowed soul.

Interesting origins of words

It's a perfect toilet tank book. Flipping through it, I found out there's a word for a self-destructive belief I've been suffering with in silence my entire life -- resistentialism: "The theory that inanimate objects demonstrate hostile behavior towards us." (Here's the Wikipedia entry on resistentialism.)

Did you know:
There’s a word for the pleasant smell that accompanies the first rain after a dry spell? Petrichor, combining petros (Greek for stone) and ichor (the fluid that flows in the veins of Greek gods).
An illeist is one who refers to oneself in the third person.
There’s a word for feigning lack of interest in something while actually desiring it: accismus.
For any aspiring deipnosophist (a good conversationalist at meals) or devoted Philomath (a lover of learning), this anthology of entertaining etymology is an ideal way to have fun while getting smarter.

Report on Resistentialism

It is the peculiar genius of the French to express their philosophical thought in aphorisms, sayings hard and tight as diamonds, each one the crystal centre of a whole constellation of ideas. Thus, the entire scheme of seventeenth century intellectual rationalism may be said to branch out from that single, pregnant saying of Descartes, 'Cogito ergo sum' - 'I think, therefore I am.' Resistentialism, the philosophy which has swept present-day France, runs true to this aphoristic form. Go into any of the little cafés or horlogeries on Paris's Left Bank (make sure the Seine is flowing away from you, otherwise you'll be on the Right Bank, where no one is ever seen) and sooner or later you will hear someone say, 'Les choses sont contre nous.' 'Things are against us.'

Ventre offers us a grand vision of the Universe as One Thing - the Ultimate Thing (Dernière Chose). And it is against us.

And today on Blue Peter we're going to show you how to make your own television receiver with a mirrored drum, a couple of old lamp stands, an electric fan, a squeezy liquid bottle, and a great deal of fuming and cursing.

This is just creepy. What is going on here? Is the television of tomorrow so realistic you'll reach out to touch it? Will women fall so hopelessly in love with men on television that they'll wish to caress them through the screen

Will television allow men

to jump out of the set with a string of pearls which they hold out in either a gesture of giving or as a prelude to some twisted homicidal episode?

Okay, Arthur. That's the 500th autograph you've faxed out this programme. Yes, I know they're your public. Yes, I know that's what makes two-way telly so great. Look, Arty, we've been here for three hours, you haven't sung a single song, and our total audience has dropped to forty.
